    This is the perfect encapsulation of liberal “morality,” and why any attempt to finger-waggle or take the moral high ground by you is utterly laughable. The thing that determines whether mass murder is acceptable or not is the attitude of the murderers. Act ashamed and embarrassed and apologize while you repeatedly stab someone to death, and it’s perfectly fine. But laugh manically while you’re doing it, and it’s somehow way worse - even though the only actual difference is aesthetics. It’s literally that line from The Dark Knight about “nobody panics as long as there’s a plan, even if the plan is horrible” - liberals don’t actually want to stop bad things, they just want them beurocratized and sanitized.

    If anything, aesthetically, Trump’s mask off attitude is arguably preferable in that it is less defensible, more likely to turn people against him and against Israel by proxy. The Democrats are much better at propaganda, while doing the exact same thing. Suppose you’re in a building with a bunch of people, as well as one person who’s trying to kill you. Would you rather the assassin act calmly and like a regular person, causing everyone to ignore them while they corner you, or would you rather them scream, “I’m gonna kill you and piss on your grave!” in which case people might actually do something to stop him?

    But I’d rather not have a killer in there at all, which is how I voted. Unfortunately, society is filled with people like you.
